The US Drug Watchdog says, "If you are a recipient of a DePuy Pinnacle all metal hip implant, that is showing symptoms of a failure, or you are concerned about a premature failure, we want to get you to get a specific blood test that has been designed to detect elevated levels of cobalt, and chromium in a all metal hip implant recipient's blood. This is a big deal. If the cobalt, or chromium levels are elevated, we believe this is the best indicator for a all metal hip implant failure." A national lawsuit has been filed in federal court related to the DePuy Pinnacle metal on metal hip implants, and premature failure issues. According to court records there are 130,000 US recipients of a DePuy Pinnacle all metal hip implant. The US Drug Watchdog is urging family members, or friends of hip implant recipients, who had their hip implant surgery between 2002, and 2011 to ask if they received a DePuy Pinnacle all metal hip implant. If the answer is yes, the US Drug Watchdog is urging the recipient, or their family members to call them at 866-714-6466 for specific information about the blood test, and the group is emphasizing they want to hear from recipients in all states including California, New York, New Jersey, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Washington.

The US Drug Watchdog is the premier medical device, and pharmaceutical watchdog in the United States. The group says, “We want to make certain all DePuy Pinnacle hip implant recipients get a blood test to determine if their hip implant has failed. In the event the blood test indicates elevated levels of cobalt, and chromium we will get the recipient to national caliber law firms that have a superior record in representing their clients in these types of national lawsuits, involving potentially significant financial compensation."
